The Herbert Way of Conveying Messages
Radio Boy Live in Japan

recommended by Soup-Disk owner, "Moxa" co-host and soccer
enthusiast Hara Masaaki


Matthew Herbert's stages are usually stuffed with humour and
unforeseen events that make it impossible to turn one's eyes from
the stage. When he seems to be doing some theatrical gestures,
he's in fact taking over the part of the percussionist, pounding
on plastic bottles, potato chips bags, or other material...
While producing such unique beats he never forgets to keep people
on the dance floor in motion, and even if the crowd's eyes are
nailed to the stage, everybody's leaving the rest of their bodies
to the beat. I think Herbert is an incomparable individual in
today's music world, whose unique live performances go beyond the
category of usual club music…

(2) Out of Tokyo
=================================================================

Vol. 025 of RT editor Ozaki Tetsuya's column discusses the media's
reports on terror and war
 
When the air strikes on Yugoslavia began in March 1999, all we got
from the Japanese media was some formal information. 'Formal' means
that there were only casual, superficial reports on the facts, that
neglected completely the inclusion of discussions by intellectuals
on the bombings and the state of things in the Balkans.
I didn't check the media of Balkan or Islamic states back then, but
the reports people in the NATO states were served were interesting.
Papers such as "New York Times," "Guardian," "Le Monde," or
"Liberation" provided platforms for exchange of various opinions, and
also the Internet was offering a considerable amount of information…

Volume 17 of "Composite" Editor Sugatsuke Masanobu's diary


September 4 (Tue)

I'm interviewing Oyamada Keigo (a.k.a. Cornelius), who has just
released his first album in four years. The interview takes place
at his office in Nakameguro, and for the photo shooting we move over
to the area around Shinjuku's Metropolitan Government building.
Inspired by the fast-paced video for Cornelius' new track, "Point
of View Point," that lines up short sequences of city scenes,
photographer Minakawa Satoshi uses a strobe and a super-slow shutter.
The latest issue of "Commercial Photo," by the way, is a Minagawa
special, and the casual conversation between me and him that's
published there seems to have caused quite a stir in the world of
professional photography…
